and now we're off to ohio for the hearing on the stuebenville rape trail!

So, five solid minutes of how terrible being found guilty of having raped a girl, bragged about it and spreading it around in the hopes of shaming people from going for the guilty charge if they're jurors of a similar case of "such promising" football players raping a girl at a party because they expect they'll be protected? An "apology" of how they never intended for the evidence of them raping the girl that night was never intended to be shared? a long, tearful bemoanment of how hard this case has been for everyone (yeah, because it's totally as bad for you up to now as the girl that was raped, mocked and initially told to STFU by the cops until the fed stepped in), followed by a heartfelt moment about how the father loves his son in spite of the rape?

CAN WE BE ANY MORE GODSDAMN APOLOGETIC TO THE CRIMINALS HERE?

i'm not going to waste typing on the way rape survivors are treated, mainly because it's clear that the people invested in the results of the trial didn't give a quarter-shit about that. but can we please figure out how the willful violation/assault of a person against her will for entertainment is the one fucking crime where the legal system feels like they should approach it as regretful? if you grow a plant they don't like, they paint you as a member of a crimnal cartel, if you're driving a nice car and happen to have the wrong skin tone they make a concerted effort to convince themselves you're a criminal, and if you download an MP3 file and they notice they charge you with several hundred grand in damages for making a copy but Rape is the one subject where we feel inclined as a culture to try to give the perpetrator every benefit of a doubt?

the proper mentality should be "fuck you, you shouldn't have thought about doing it at all. you attacked that girl for fun, exhibited that you are a horrible person that shouldn't be trusted by anyone, and now reget that there were godsdamn consequences? you're lucky we don't strap claymores to you facing in and see how many bat swings it takes to make the detonator misfire!" a bunch of jock assholes raped a girl, bragged about it to the tune of "She's deader than obi-won kenobi after darth vader cut his head off" (WARNING: terrible audio) and half the fucking town tried to blow it off because they're good at sports!

fuck every part of this shit. if i were clever (or rested at all, for that matter) i might have a jaunty little tune for you to sing while in prison to the tune of i will survive, but all i can say is i how their rectums end up more blown up than a palestinian neighborhood after an isreali retaliation.
